Thread: Runewars:: Rules:: Rules Question for a New Player (Moving Units)

by Wayne Schulatz

Hi everybody. I tried using the search feature but I was unsuccessful.

Quick background: I have never played Runewars. I did some research and decided that it looks awesome and ordered the game. In the meantime, I have been reading the instructions so when it comes I am prepared. I am running into small questions now.

In the instruction booklet on page 17 it states, "A player can recruit and move units into an area containing one of his activation tokens. A player cannot activate an area that contains a friendly activation token."

I don't understand. When you play Recruit, you do not get to move units. Does it mean that if you have a previously activated area that contains a stronghold you may still place newly recruited units in that area? Or possibly that you are able to move units the same year that you recruit them? I just can't quite figure out why this specific distinction is made at all. "...can recruit and move..." could imply doing both at once, and I know that is not right. Unless there are Tactics cards I am not familiar with yet that allow that...?


Thank you all for your time. I am very excited about this game and cannot wait to play. I appreciate your help.
